126 Multimeter Command Reference Chapter 3
CURRent[:DC]:RESolution
[SENSe:]CURRent[:DC]:RESolution <resolution> selects the resolution for DC
current measurements.
Parameters
Comments • MINimum selects the best resolution (the smallest value) for the selected range.
MAXimum selects the worst resolution (the largest value) for the selected
range.
• You must select a range using CURRent:DC:RANGe before specifying
resolution. Also, only specify a resolution when making measurements on a
fixed range. Otherwise, the resolution will change to correspond with the range
selected during autoranging.
• If autoranging is required, set the resolution using the MIN or MAX parameters.
• Changing the resolution also changes the NPLC and APERture setting to the
values that correspond with the resolution specified.
CURRent[:DC]:RESolution?
[SENSe:]CURRent[:DC]:RESolution? [MIN|MAX] returns one of the following
numbers to the output buffer:
• The present current resolution selected if MIN or MAX is not specified. Only
the resolutions available with the RESolution command are returned. For
example, if
CONFigure selects 10mA resolution, 10mA is the resolution
returned.
• The minimum current resolution available (1
µ
A) if MIN is specified.
• The maximum current resolution available (100
µ
A) if MAX is specified.
